For April 15, we will be reading Wishtree by Katherine Applegate. Red is an old oak tree and is the wishtree for his neighborhood. People tie their written wishes to the branches, and Red keeps safe their secrets, their hopes, and their dreams. When a new family moves in, and not everyone is welcoming, Red's experience as a wishtree becomes more important than ever for his community.

“Funny, deep, warm, and nuanced, this is Katherine Applegate at her very best―writing from the heart, and from a completely unexpected point of view.”

Copies of the book are available at the Children's Desk.
